There's good reason why patients with MDR-TB would stop taking their medication. They have to swallow about 14 pills daily of highly toxic drugs. Treatment can last up to two years and there are many unpleasant side effects. Plus there are additional injections required. Regular TB treatment has few, if any, side effects and lasts about six months. There are also a lot fewer pills to take.多重耐药性肺结核患者停止服药是有充分理由的。患者需要每天服用14片毒性很强的药，疗程长达2年，并伴有很多令人不适的副作用，此外，还需要额外的注射治疗。相比之下，常规的肺结核治疗就好得多，即使有副作用也是很轻微的，疗程也只有6个月，同时也不用服用那么多药。___________________________.

convert drugs are many decades old. science says there's little sensitive to discover new TB medications.
